Granville Tuner Matter Resolved. Thanks For All Your Support


Recommended Posts

I recently got to speaking about a bad experience with a tuner who has a vase full of turbo wheels on his reception desk. Interestingly Ive had 4 others tell me about the same vase and similar experiences.

So; anyone else cop the same teatment.

PS: if you dont know what Im talking about, then you havent been to the tuner, and there is no need to worry.

Just say the tuner.. Save me alot of worry..

Why does he have a vase full of turbo wheels? Just because he like blowing his own turbos or enjoys watching peoples hard earned cash fly out the window?

lol

So why start a thread then

I have copincidentally found 2 EVO owners, one RX7 owner and an XR6 turbo owner who had the same trick pulled upon them that I had.

I just want to know if anyone with a skyline has had the same problem. Hills Motorsport says that 2 other Skylines have been hauled into his workshop with these problems, and like me, they are suspicious about this tuner.

NB It is of course not the very reputable Hills Motorsport.

I dont want to turn it into a discussion until the court case is settled. But Id love to know if anyone else has had the same problem.

Remember if you dont know what this thread is about, then you wont have had the problem.

I still dont understand why you posted the thread if you cannot name, or wait until court case and yet you want to discuss.

We havent got much info to go on here.

And my car is sitting in a workshop right now and how do I know its not this place you are reffering to?

yeh give us the name or at least the story of what the problem is, all we know now is there is a dude tuning cars with turbo wheels on his desk and there is a court case involved, give us some info

lol,

Just out of interest; what prompted you to hand over the keys to the guy behind the desk when he had a vase full of turbo wheels sitting next to him?

i don't think it's yavuz either, evil. He doesn't have a desk or a vase :)

The matter is progressing through the courts at the moment and should finalise in about 10 days. So I dont want to pre-empt any legal process.

hahah yeah right.

NSW legal system for dummies; Civil court 'can' have juries, made up of 4 jurors, but this is rare. So unless the judge is surfing SAU, and you are giving information that has not already been submitted pertinent to your case, which i doubt you would do, then you won't be pre-empting legal process.

But on the area of defamation, that is a separate issue.

So if you said, 'i went to 'V8s rule Workshop' and my car blew-up on the dyno, and are taking them to court over a concern regarding potential malicious treatment', that would be fine legally for a couple reasons because you are stating what have become public civil court records, you are stating what has happened/happening and importantly you are not making a preemptive decision on the outcome.

But because it's not forum rules, and i know if I was the workshop and had potentially killed your engine, i wouldn't be very happy with the kangaroo court that these things turn into on forums.

Oh for f**ks sake... IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE THREAD IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT or IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE WORKSHOP, SIT TIGHT, WE WILL KNOW IN ABOUT TEN DAYS BUT AGAIN, DO NOT WORRY, I REPEAT....f*kEN RELAX.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
